New playable characters
The originalJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure ASBfighting game had 40 playable characters fromPart 1 to 8. But the Remaster will bring up that count to 50, with several new characters. The characters will be revealed at a later date.
3D models changed to reflect the new David Production anime
All the characters in the game fromPart 1 to 6, as in theJoJo Partswhich already got a new anime, will have their 3D models changed to reflect the new anime.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure ASB R changes voice actor cast to reflect new anime
With the release ofJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure ASB R, all the characters fromPart 1 to 6will have their seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) changed to fall in line with the new anime. Back whenJoJo ASBwas first released in 2013, the newJoJoTV anime series by David Production had just started in 2012. So all of the characters beyondPart 2had different seiyuu than now.
Most notably, the firstJoJoprotagonist heard on the reveal trailer, Jolyne Cujoh, is now voiced byFairouz Aiinstead ofMiyuki Sawashiro.
New auto combo system
The Remaster will add an “easy beat system” for beginners that triggers auto combos by mashing the same button.
New All-Star Battle mode added, Story and Campaign modes removed
A new All-Star Battle mode has been added to single-player, replacing the story mode and the campaign mode of the original PS3JoJo ASBfighting game. This is actually a good thing.
The press release stressed that All-Star Battle won’t use a Stamina system. Referencing how many fans disliked the originalJJBA ASBgame’s campaign mode, which had a system comparable to Stamina in Sociage (Japanese mobile games). Stamina systems limit how much you can play pr day.
All-Star Battle mode will include “normal battles” reproducing some of the iconic scenes of the original manga by Hirohiko Araki, and “extra battles” which is like a mission mode. You’ll unlock bonus costumes for the characters by clearing these. All the characters in All-Star Battle will have brand-new lines of dialogues with each other during battles and on the victory screen.
